Glam Racket! - The Glam/glitter Revolution

During the early 1970s, glam rock ruled the world, originated by artists such as David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper, who fused primal R&B, rock'n'roll and bubblegum pop to produce a sound that rocked a generation. 'Glam Racket!' tells the full story of this unique era. Extensively illustrated, it represents a comprehensive account of a genre that is still hugely influential and popular today, as evidenced by the enduring popularity of bands such as Queen and Alice Cooper, perpetual interest in the glam era output of David Bowie, Elton John and Marc Bolan and contemporary glam acts like the Scissor Sisters, Goldfrapp and Muse.
